MINNESOTA: The Golden Gophers made it to Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament, but lost three starters, as well as their head coach. Tubby Smith left for Texas Tech and was replaced by Richard Pitino, the son of Louisville head man Rick Pitino. Luckily for Minnesota, it returns its starting backcourt of Andre Hollins (14.6 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 3.4 APG) and Austin Hollins (10.7 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 2.6 APG). Andre was terrific late in the season, averaging 26.5 PPG and 7.0 RPG in the Golden Gophers two NCAA Tournament games. Both are very talented players and should be able to really push the action in Pitino's up-tempo offense. But the club will need to find reliable frontcourt players for any shot at an NCAA tournament berth this upcoming season.
